Chapter 184: Xu Yuan's Question (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the afternoon, the barracks of the equipment test brigade of the G Military Region were cleaned exceptionally neatly, and the testing equipment under it was even more spotless; the cooking squad drove out two big fat pigs from the pigsty converted from the air-raid shelter on the side of the shooting range, and began to sharpen their knives. ∽↗∽↗,
"Come on, old regiment commander! I'll give you another drink!" In the barracks of the equipment test brigade of the G Military Region, Sun Xinyuan, the captain of the equipment brigade, who had been busy all day, looked at a man opposite him who looked to be in his fifties and had a sturdy body, and his whole person gave people a sense of excitement and upliftment, both in spirit and temperament.
Especially his unquestionable eyes, as well as his hair that stands on end like steel needles, are the most memorable, and when the old head saw Sun Xinyuan lift the wine glass, his originally serious face also showed a friendly smile, and he raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Sun Xinyuan.
Then he raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, and Sun Xinyuan on the opposite side did not hesitate when he saw this, and drank the wine without a drop left, but the same glass of wine went down, Sun Xinyuan's face was slightly red, but the old head of the regiment did not change his complexion, his expression was as usual, and Sun Xinyuan was a little surprised when he saw this:
"Old leader, your amount of wine must have been much better before, these four or five glasses have gone down, and your face hasn't even changed."
"Alas, aren't these all trained in the Northern Heavy Army!" Before Sun Xinyuan finished speaking, the old regiment commander in his mouth interrupted his words, and then took two peanuts with chopsticks, put them in his mouth and continued while eating:
"Over there, especially during the winter exercises, we couldn't wait to freeze when we peed for nine days, and we practiced snow lurking and anti-tank subjects. Staying in the wilderness with the north wind whistling and snowflakes is ten and a half days and a half, and if you don't drink some spirits every day to warm up, you won't be able to survive at all!"
Hearing this, Sun Xinyuan couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "No wonder the old regiment commander has such a good amount of alcohol, I think with your current amount of alcohol, you should be able to fight with Deputy Chief of Staff Guo of the G Military Region!"
"You Guo Qingshan, Guo Buffalo?" Sun Xinyuan couldn't help but nodded. After receiving an affirmative reply, the old regiment commander couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face as if he had returned from the battlefield:
"He's also my defeated now!"
"Won't it?"
"What's not going on!" the old head said, taking a sip of the wine in the cup again: "Yesterday, I went to the head of the general command to report to the finished report, and I found Guo Buffalo and a few other old comrades-in-arms to get together.
Up here. The old regiment commander's face showed a faint pride, and his smile deepened a little: "Guo Buffalo, who was finally convinced, kept patting me on the shoulder and said, I really didn't expect that you Xu Yuan not only grew his ability in the Northern Heavy Army, but also increased the amount of alcohol, let me Xu Yuan be like him Guo Qingshan in the future, and change his name to Xu Buffalo! I remember that when I was in the G Military Region before, I was instilled with this Guo Buffalo every time. This time, I've finally pulled one back!"
"Awesome!" As soon as Xu Yuan's voice fell, Sun Xinyuan gave a thumbs up to his old leader. And Xu Yuan also laughed heartily, but laughing and laughing, Xu Yuan's smile gradually stopped, and then was replaced by a trace of helplessness, and then sighed:
"Alas, I also know that Lao Guo was in a bad mood yesterday. Originally, he should have commanded this border offensive battle, but the headquarters and the head of the general command just ordered my general!"
"I also heard at the time that the border offensive battle at the end of this year or early next year should be under the command of Deputy Chief of Staff Guo, but how can it be replaced all of a sudden, and Deputy Chief of Staff Guo will be replaced. Even the old units of our G Military Region have been withdrawn and replaced with combat units from other military regions, not only the military region where the old regiment commander belongs, but even the L Military Region in the northwest has also had a team coming over.
"Sun, you don't understand this! This is the genius of our headquarters!" Xu Yuan took two mouthfuls of cold dishes, put them in his bowl, and continued:
"We are now in the whole army, except for those old generals, no one in the new generation has experienced large-scale wars, and commanders at all levels are very lacking in understanding of war and combat command experience, especially grassroots commanders and fighters!" Xu Yuan put the two mouthfuls of cold vegetables in the bowl into his mouth, and waited until he swallowed them all before continuing:
"Therefore, the General Headquarters and the top level want to make use of Vietnam, a local and restricted combat area, as a whetstone for our troops, temper the actual combat capability of all units and commanders at all levels of our army, and then improve the actual combat level and combat effectiveness of the whole army.
Because of this, although Lao Guo was in a bad mood yesterday, he also understood this truth, and he would be fine after drinking a few more glasses of wine! I just didn't expect that the headquarters and the head of the general command would take a fancy to me and let me command this battle!"
"Old Leader, what are you talking about!" Listening to Xu Yuan's words, Sun Xinyuan couldn't help but stand up, filled his old head with wine, and then added it to himself:
"I remember that when we were in our old 8th Regiment, you were the excellent regiment commander of the entire G Military Region, the name of a tactical expert is not called nonsense, and when you were transferred to the north, you were on the front line of resistance to the Soviet Union, and the troops you led were rated as top training by the headquarters every year, so it is expected that you will be noted, and it is not even reasonable!"
As soon as Sun Xinyuan's words fell, Xu Yuan nodded his old subordinate with his hand: "You are a grandson, you are a worker, peasant and soldier, and this mouth is more slippery than before!"
"Then I can't thank you, the old regiment leader, if it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't have been able to go to college, let alone serve as the captain of this equipment test brigade!"
Listening to Sun Xinyuan's words, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sun, the new portable bazooka that will be tested tomorrow, don't you know?"
Xu Yuan's sudden question made Sun Xinyuan, who was picking up vegetables, stunned: "Old regiment leader, didn't the chief of the general command and Deputy Chief of Staff Guo follow you yesterday?"
"As for Lao Guo," Xu Yuan said, drank all the wine in front of him, and continued with a meaningful smile:
"This guy is even more proficient in selling, so that I, a front-line commander, had better observe with a blank head, so that my words can be more real and weighty! I heard that a batch of bazookas for tomorrow's test has been shipped to you, so I will follow along, just anxious to see what is going on with this general commander and Lao Guo!"
Sun Xinyuan knew very well the temper of his old regiment commander, although he was unhurried when he spoke, as if he was strolling leisurely, but he was an acute person in his bones, and Xu Yuan, who was about to go to the front line to command the battle, naturally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart when he learned that there was a weapon that could be used in battle.
It's just that he can't get the situation from the headquarters of the G Military Region, and it is impossible for him to go to the portable bazooka development team in violation of the regulations to ask, and after thinking about it, the equipment test team that is about to undertake the test of this bazooka is a little bit more scored, after all, Sun Xinyuan is his old subordinate, and he can reveal a little bit of the situation to him, so that he can have a bottom in his heart, after all, he is naturally more concerned about the equipment involved in this operation than others.
Thinking about this, Sun Xinyuan couldn't help but pick up the wine again and fill it up to his old leader: "Let's be honest with you, old leader, I have seen this bazooka, but I don't see anything in it!"
"What's the matter?" Listening to Sun Xinyuan's words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel the spirit, and Sun Xinyuan drank a drink:
"I heard from the developers in charge of transportation and storage that this rocket launcher is specially designed to deal with the Vietnamese monkey tunnel! However, judging from its 80 caliber, the power should be greater than that of 40 fire, but it is afraid to deal with the Vietnamese army in the depths of the tunnel."
Although Sun Xinyuan's words were not finished, Xu Yuan understood it, so his brows furrowed twice, and then he nodded slightly:
"Well, I understand what you mean, yesterday Lao Guo Ye this thing can deal with the monkeys in the tunnel, and the caliber is only 80, I felt unreliable at the time, 152 armor-piercing shells can't penetrate the monkey's tunnel, 80 bazooka can penetrate it?"
"The old regiment is long!" As soon as Xu Yuan's voice fell, Sun Xinyuan echoed: "Although I heard what this bazooka is equipped with and what it is called", Sun Xinyuan couldn't help but pat his head, thought for a moment, and then opened his eyes again and continued:
"That's right, it's called, but on the whole, I don't think it will have a big effect on such a caliber!"
Xu Yuan heard this unfamiliar term, and his brows couldn't help jumping twice: "Thermobaric bomb?"
"Yes! It's a thermobaric bomb!" Sun Xinyuan couldn't help but nodded: "I also inquired about this thermobaric bomb, and if it is white, it is a virtue like the napalm used by the US military in North Korea, which burns the surrounding air, and if it can be smoked, it will be smoked to death, and if it can be burned, it will be burned to death, but the napalm of the US military is a bombshell dropped by an aircraft, is our 80 caliber still a little bit?"
However, Sun Xin was far away, and there was still a meaningful smile on his face: "But this is also difficult, Lu Jiadong, the chief designer of this portable bazooka, can often create something unexpected, maybe his 80 bazooka can achieve this combat purpose!"
"Lu Jiadong?" Hearing this name, Xu Yuan nodded slightly at first, but then shook his head thoughtfully (to be continued......
